* BigBadDuumvirate: [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]] and [[spoiler: Ansem]]

* AdaptedOut: Despite [[ScrewedByTheLawyers copyright complications]], the novel keeps Deep Jungle but omits Olympus Coliseum, Halloween Town, and Atlantica. Additionally, the Pooh storybook with the Hundred Acre Wood is delivered to Merlin, but Sora never actually gets to visit inside it. Olympus Coliseum is later adapted into the ''Kingdom Hearts II'' novel and treated as if it's the first time Sora and his friends visit it, while the ''Chain of Memories'' novel just pulls a RememberTheNewGuy with the Hundred Acre Wood and its residents.
